Pictures of Christmas 2007......

I realize that it's already November and I didn't post anything in October but I promise to pay more attention to the blog in the future. Christmas is only weeks away and here I am posting pictures from Christmas 2007.

We all know how hectic Christmas can be....here are some random pictures of our Christmas Day. They're not the prettiest pictures but you get the idea. I'm lucky even to have these pictures considering all the chaos on Christmas Day. Somehow I remember to bring out the camera and snap a few candids. Now I know why there's never any pictures of ME on Christmas day.

More Christmas Eve Traditions......

I like to get the kids matching pajamas for Christmas Eve & Morning. Here they are showing off their PJs with Lita and Tia and then with Santa (Lito). I'm pretty sure this will be the last year that Lito will be able to "play" Santa. Garrett was pretty sure Santa sounded a lot like Lito. We're gonna have to hire a neighbor or friend to come over on Christmas Eve to play Santa....Any volunteers?

I always take a picture of the Christmas Tree once it's set up with all the loot. It always amazes us how much we have and how long it took to get it all put together and wrapped.

Christmas Eve Traditions.....

Christmas eve always consists of us taking a picture of the kids in front of the tree, going to my parent's house, making cookies, and now, decorating a gingerbread house. Here are some pictures of Christmas Eve 2007.

Notice Jake in the picture with the cookies? He's sad because he put way too many sugar sprinkles on his cookie. His spirits were lifted when he saw all of the candy we were using to decorate the gingerbread house.

Garrett, Jake, & Wyatt Christmas 2007....

Here is a picture of the boys and my best friend Sherry's little boy, Wyatt. We were forced to drive out to the boonies and visit their family last year for Christmas because she was on bedrest and couldn't leave her home. She knows I'm joking but I really don't like driving out to her house because it's sooooo far from town. But because she was on bedrest and 7 months pregnant, we made the trek out there and celebrated Christmas with them for a couple of hours. The boys love Wyatt, they especially love his toys. This year I'm gonna make her come to town to visit with us.
